Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
L-serine + 1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate = L-tryptophan + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H2O also catalyses the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water, and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate (the latter reaction was listed formerly as EC 4.2.1.8) Escherichia coli
